James: The cursor not showing is definitely something that needs to be addressed. When you say "they should have the same look and feel", are you suggesting that we use buttons like anaconda does? If no, pls be more specific. If yes, I don't think this is a good idea. I prefer the list because of the stuff that will be there in the future. We plan to put predefined rescue "targets" in that list. so you can choose from "rescue your grub" or "rescue your X" or "rescue your partitions".... Furthermore this list will grow and shrink in time and handling it with buttons seems awkward.

Check out the cut'n'paste of the text-mode interfaces shown above. The terminal isn't set correctly or is using the wrong newt flags or something? Firstaidkit should have the same text-mode window layout (which is also the reason why the cursor selection is not visible). So make this ... +-------------------------------------------+ | First Aid Kit quickstart menu | | +---------------------------------------+ | | | shell Start shell | | | | fakd Run diagnostic | | | | reboot Reboot | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +---------------------------------------+ | +-------------------------------------------+ | < OK > <Cancel> | +-------------------------------------------+ Look like this ... ┌──────────────── First Aid Kit Menu ├────────────────┐ │ │ │ Select a recovery option from the list below: │ │ │ │ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ shell Start a shell to manually diagnose │ │ │ │ fakd Run the first-aid-kit diagnostic tool │ │ │ │ reboot Reboot the system │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────┐ │ │ │ Select │ │ Exit │ │ │ └──────────┘ └──────┘ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Any then I think we can close this bug out. There may be a problem with that. First Aid Kit menu is not using newt, it is a simple bash script using dialog command for now (It is not even part of anaconda codebase, it belongs to firstaidkit package). I could rewrite it in python, but it is not my topmost priority at the moment, I'm affraid. It will happen sooner or later, but I do not expect it this month. *** Bug 524018 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** FirstAidKit will use whiptail (newt version of dialog) so it should have the same interface as anaconda. We will rebuild it soon. Fix should appear in anaconda-12.28 with firstaidkit-0.2.6 in my rawhide mirror I have anaconda-12.31 today
fak's interface hasimproved but it's not perfect yet. I get this
shell Start shell
fakd Run diagnostic
┌─ reboot Reboot ─┐

Sorry I made the dialog too small, fixed in firstaidkit 0.2.7. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if it makes F12, since the freeze is today. This doesn't seem to be a release blocking issue, certainly not something to delay the release for. Moving to target. Also, this is in modified, but it doesn't seem complete? It works on serial, the remaining issue is just the look&feel.. so no definitely not a blocker. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle. Changing version to '13'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping the way it looks in F15, anaconda 15.31, now looks the way I wanted it to. Thanks This bug can be closed |
Description of problem: anaconda text-mode and firstaidkit text-mode don't look the same when accessed from a serial console ("serial console=ttyS0"). As a result, in the current firstaidkit text-mode listing, it's not possible to see where the cursor is on the firstaidkit menus. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot F-12-Alpha into rescue mode Actual results: = anaconda text-mode = ┌─────────────────────┤ Rescue ├──────────────────────┐ │ │ │ The rescue environment will now attempt to find ↑ │ │ your Linux installation and mount it under the ▮ │ │ directory /mnt/sysimage. You can then make any ▒ │ │ changes required to your system.
